Prayer in Lyrics

I've really fallen in love with a song by John Waller called "Something Big". It really calls out to me because it is something that I have been praying for a couple of weeks now. It is one of those "dangerous" prayers because the answer could be so much more than anyone could ever anticipate. We'll see. Here are the lyrics:

I want to see something I've not seen
Something so big
I want to be a part of something great
Greater than me
It's time to dream big dreams
To see your vision become reality

Cause its for you and by you
and those who love you
want to do something so big
its destined to fail without you, Lord.
It's gonna fail without you, Lord.
Something so great it takes a miracle to do
Yes your children want to do something big for you.
Something so big.

We, yes we, are gonna sing a brand new song
Something so strong
And we will be the sound that wakes the dawn
Something so loud
Its time for breaking through
Cause there are no limits for He who holds the truth

When its for you and by you
and those who love you
want to do something so big
its destined to fail without you, Lord.
It's gonna fail without you, Lord.
Something so great it takes a miracle to do
Yes we your children want to do something big for you.
Something so big.

Something bigger
Something greater
For the glory of your splendor
Something bigger
Something greater
Tell the story of your wondrous love

Something so big its destined to fail without you, Lord.
It's gonna fail without you, Lord.
Something so great it takes a miracle to do
Yes we your children want to do something big for you.
Something so big.

Awesome. Isn't it amazing how simple words can touch you? The song "And Can it Be" had me getting choked up in church yesterday!

Miss you!
